Job Description

Midwest/Central Territory: Advancing the science of transplant care

Mesoblast is a leader in allogeneic cellular medicines for inflammatory diseases, and we're dedicated to advancing the science for patients with serious and life-threatening conditions.

We're looking for a scientist who will make sure the physicians caring for these patients have accurate, balanced, up-to-date science whenever they need it.

Your Territory

This field-based role covers the Midwest/Central US, with a focus on Chicago, Nashville, St. Louis, Minneapolis and Denver . You must be based in or within reasonable commuting distance of one of these markets. Chicago is listed as the primary location, but we welcome applicants from all five.

You'll be a trusted scientific partner to transplant physicians, hematology and oncology specialists, KOLs and other healthcare professionals across your territory.

You'll provide accurate, balanced scientific exchange, build strong external relationships and bring meaningful field insights back into Mesoblast, communicating them effectively across Medical and cross-functional teams to help inform our medical strategy, scientific education and priorities.

What You'll Do

  • Build trusted, peer-to-peer scientific relationships with hematology and oncology KOLs, transplant physicians and multidisciplinary healthcare professionals across key Midwest and Central transplant networks
  • Deliver high-quality, non-promotional scientific education on steroid-refractory acute graft-versus-host disease (SR-aGVHD), from early diagnosis through to clinical management
  • Gather field insights that help shape medical strategy and deepen our understanding of patient needs
  • Support company-sponsored clinical trials, including site identification, capability assessment and study awareness
  • Support the Investigator Sponsored Trial (IST) process, from identifying research interests and facilitating proposal submissions to maintaining ongoing scientific communication with investigators, in line with company policy
  • Contribute scientific expertise to payer and managed markets engagements in line with applicable regulations and company policy
  • Uphold the highest standards of scientific integrity and non-promotional engagement, in line with Mesoblast policies and industry codes

What You'll Bring

  • An advanced scientific or clinical degree, with PharmD, MD, NP, PA or PhD strongly preferred
  • 4+ years of experience in clinical, pharma or biotech, including a minimum of 2 years as an MSL
  • Experience in rare disease, specialty medicine, hematology/oncology, immunology or a related therapeutic area
  • A strong track record of building scientific credibility with KOLs and healthcare professionals
  • A gift for turning complex clinical data into clear, accurate and balanced scientific conversations
  • Demonstrated ability to identify and communicate field insights that shape medical strategy, and the curiosity to keep asking "what are we missing?"
  • A collaborative mindset and confidence working across Medical, Commercial and other functions while maintaining appropriate scientific independence
  • The ability to travel regularly across the full territory (Illinois, Tennessee, Missouri, Minnesota and Colorado) and nationally, with travel of up to 50% during peak congress and conference periods
  • A valid driver's license
  • Someone who enjoys the visibility of a lean organization where people work closely together and individual contribution is seen and felt

Why You'll Love It Here

  • Base salary range of $150,000 to $200,000, plus an annual short-term incentive (STI) and long-term incentive (LTI) share options
  • Car allowance to support travel across your territory
  • 401(k) retirement savings plan with company matching up to 5%
  • Medical, dental and vision plans, with Health Savings Account and Flexible Spending Account options
  • Life and AD&D insurance, plus short- and long-term disability coverage
  • 4 weeks' paid time off
  • A 24/7 Employee Assistance Program for you and your family, plus optional voluntary benefits and employee discounts

The base salary range reflects Mesoblast's good-faith expectation for this role. Final base salary will depend on factors including experience, skills, qualifications and location.

Applications close Friday 23 October 2026.
